Grill Badge Help

I've decided to change out my 06 Grill to a Mugen Sports Grill. I really want to use an OEM chrome Acura "A" logo in the center of the grill instead of the Mugen Badge. Can anyone recommend a specific "A" emblem that will attach to the Mugen mesh? I have seen a few photos of members cars that appear to have done the same thing, but I wasn't sure which emblem they used? I was thinking maybe there was an RSX front "A" emblem that has both the 3M adhesive and the 2 little pins with caps to attach to the mesh like the Mugen emblem does?

Can anyone help me out here so I don't wast time and money trying different combinations? Thanks in advance. Chris

Thanks jiggaman. I actually ordered an emblem from AofE, but unfortunately the placement pins on the back of the emblem are to far apart for my new Mugen Grill. This is frustrating, but I will figure something out...

Why dont you shave off those pins of that emblem you have an just barb wire or zip ties to secure the emblem? Probably the only solution mount it on.

Barbwire???????????? That would look horrible especially since it will cut the hell out of him trying to do it. Honestly shave the pis off and use a hot glue gun. Make sure you don't use too much. You don't want to be able to see the glue from the front. What you will have to do is take your emblem place it where you like it and tape it down. (duct tape works wonders =P) Then take your glue gun and probably a sharp knife. First tack the 3 points through the back of the grill. So it will hold stready.
Then you can reinforce it where you see needed. And if you do get glue out and around the "A" Get an exacto knife from a hobby store and use it to cut the glue from the mesh. Be very careful or you will have larger holes in your mesh than you are supposed to.

GOOD LUCK and post pix when finished!

The oem emblem might be too big.

Hehe...i mentioned barb wire so that no one will try to steal it

Hot glue lightly applied will be good, but also i think a thin silver wire or perhaps fishing line to tie it up will be good to secure it so that no one will try to steal it. A bit less visible unless up close but clear enough from a far distance not to see the fishing line.
